Today was a nice day. O level music has just begun. However, as promised, I shall not think about the composition until Sunday. It's good to know that there are others in class who also have a heart, or rather, conscience.

We went through the prelim compositions from last week. It was quite amusing, especially Ruri's. Hers always has that personal touch that makes the whole class (including the teacher(s)) end up laughing. She was the only one in class who picked the poem - Kopitiam. I could never imagine singing "Ah Peh" to a tune, not until this afternoon. The whole composition was able to bring out Singlish effectively. Apart from her semibreve trill (for the poor singer) and other rather funny errors, it was good work, and very Ruri.

Ms P and Mr Tan were commenting on my coursework. Mr T was trying to say that my piano accompaniment on the left hand was a little heavy and had too many open fifths. Ms P said it was probably because I could only play the violin and not the piano (except TTLS), which explained the weird left hand part. The difference between a violin and piano is that the violin only has one melodic line, if not, it's called double stops.

Ms P: Lynn thinks too linearly

Jy: Lynn thinks too lynnearly

This reminds me of Vivienne's joke.

What did Lynn say?

Ans: Lynn-say Lohan (Lindsay Lohan)

Oh here's another lame on by Ms P.

Why will there never be a lack of Math teachers?

Ans: Because they multiply

Evangeline and I are planning to stay up all the way till tomorrow morning. That means going without sleep. I'm going to occupy myself with an intensive 6 hour revision, provided I survive the whole night. I'm supposed to sms Jy every hour so I can prove that I was awake. E will sms Audrey. Then tomorrow morning, we'll see who survives the longest at school. We have compared our diets to ensure a fair test. Good thing there won't be lessons tomorrow, so it's the safest day to do this. I really hope I don't faint and die in the parade ground.
